Known as “Eternity Beach” for the famous love scene in the movie “From Here to Eternity,” Halona Beach is located before Sandy beach on the West side (pictured above). It was here that Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr kissed in the gentle rolling surf. The scene has been parodied and re-enacted numerous times since the film’s 1953 release.
